Hazard Flashers
*
[ER00200( ALL)01/96]
The flashers work whether your vehicle is
running or not. The flashers work for up to two
hours when the battery is fully charged and in
good condition without draining the battery
excessively. If the flashers run for longer than
two hours or if the battery is not fully charged,
the battery can be drained.

Circuit Breakers
*
[ER00500( ALL)12/95]
Fuses (conventional and high current) and circuit
breakers protect your vehicle's wiring system
from overloading. If electrical parts in your
vehicle are not working, the system may have
been overloaded and blown a fuse or tripped a
circuit breaker. Before you replace or repair any
electrical parts, check the appropriate fuses
(conventional and high current) or circuit
breakers.
*
[ER00600( ALL)12/95]
The following charts tell you which fuses or
circuit breakers protect the wiring for each
electrical part of your vehicle. If a fuse blows or
a circuit breaker opens a circuit,allthe parts of
your vehicle that use that circuit will not work.
*
[ER00700( ALL)12/95]
Once you have determined which fuses or circuit
breakers to check, follow the procedures under
Checking and replacing fusesorChecking and
replacing circuit breakersin this chapter.

[ER04500( ALL)01/96]
If you need to check a fuse, follow these steps:
[ER04600(M )12/95]
1. Find the fuse panel cover below and to left
of the steering column, in the instrument
panel. Pull outward on the handle below the
word ªfusesº to expose the fuse panel.
Squeeze the two backing tabs and pull to
remove the cover.
[ER04900(M )12/95]
2. On the fuse panel cover, find the number of
the fuse you want to check. The following
fuse panel cover tells you where to locate
the fuse on the panel.
*
[ER05100(M )12/95]
3. Check the fuse to see if it is blown. Look
through the clear side of the fuse to see if
the metal wire inside is separated. If it is,
the fuse should be replaced.

WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one that has
the specified amperage rating. Using a
fuse with a higher amperage rating can
cause severe wire damage and could start
a fire.

[ER06100(M )01/96]
5. Replace the cover.

Circuit Breakers
*
[ER06500( ALL)12/95]
If you need to check a circuit breaker that is on
the fuse panel, seeChecking and replacing fusesin
this chapter to find out how to locate the fuse
panel.
[ER06600( ALL)12/95]
Circuit breakers will reset themselves and allow
the electrical parts to work again once the
overload on the circuit is removed. If the circuit
breakers continue to cut off electricity, have your
vehicle's electrical system checked.
*
[ER06700( ALL)01/96]
Diagnostic equipment is needed to check circuit
breakers. Refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
*
[ER06800( ALL)01/96]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker mounted in the fuse panel, grip it with
your finger and thumb and pull it straight out
of its socket.
